bamboo pit viper 2

canon 7d, tamron 90mm,f/9,1/50, iso-320

Wonderful closeup. Loved the details of the eye. The unique pose makes the image for me.

thanks Atul..

Beautiful image Dr.Katre. The snake seems to have been really close. Was someone holding it when you clicked it? Thanks for sharing.

thanks Murugan, nobody holding it, it was resting on a vertical branch....

As Murugan, I too was under the impression that this snake was restrained. How closer were you to the snake? And how much of crop is this?

i was just 6 inches away, it is a very small specimen, head not broader than a centimeter.

A very unique angle. Nice details on the head. The vertical composition looks nice. Thanks for sharing.
